Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Removing and installing an SFP module can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert
SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.

To insert an SFP module into the module slot, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Find the send (TX) and receive (RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP module.
Note On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows
that show the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
Step 3 Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening.
Step 4 Insert the SFP module into the slot until you feel the connector on the module snap into place in the rear
of the slot. (See Figure 2-8.)
